Comment (by smat):

 Formatting for the example implementation went awry in the description,
 Wiki formatted text as follows:

 {{{
 Example trivial implementation for *NIX (not reliable on Windows due to
 inability to delete open files, importing shutil not shown):
          for d in os.listdir(self.basedir):
 -            if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(self.basedir, d)):
 +            path = os.path.join(self.basedir, d)
 +            if os.path.isdir(path):
                  if d not in wanted_dirs:
                      log.msg("I have a leftover directory '%s' that is not
 "
 -                            "being used by the buildmaster: you can
 delete "
 -                            "it now" % d)
 +                            "being used by the buildmaster: deleting now"
 +                            % d)
 +                    shutil.rmtree(path)
          return retval
 }}}
